Hope everyone's found their book thread-- and that I've not left anyone out!

A quick reminder: you're always posting to the same person so:

DontDreamItBeIt send your book to MyBabysInTheGarden
PrettyMum send your book to DontDreamItBeIt
WheresTheHamster send your book to PrettyMum
DiscoverLife send your book to WheresTheHamster
EachPeachPearMum send your book to DiscoverLife
AndyRobo237 send your book to EachPeachPearMum
Blanki send your book to AndyRobo237
MegBussett send your book to Blanki
cynarasamba send your book to MegBussett
yogabird send your book to cynarasamba
mairseydotes send your book to yogabird
MyBabysInTheGarden send your book to mairseydotes

Mailings are the first Monday of the month, so next posting date is 4th February.

How does everyone feel about posting early if you've finished the book? I'm up for it but I don't want to put pressure on anyone who's taking longer to read theirs.

No, I never got andy's first book which must still be with discoverlife.

andyrobo237 · 24/09/2008 21:14

I think my original book was lost in transit a few months ago.

Shall we re-group and see where all the books are, and we are nearing the end. There doesnt seem any point in waiting for a new year to re-start - we could start in November!!

We need a list of all the book titles so we dont send round the same books again!!

Who is 'Head Prefect'??

andyrobo237 · 29/09/2008 20:13

I have finished my book early!! Do I win a prize or something? I will post it on tomorrow 2nd class - in case I forget!

MegBusset · 30/09/2008 21:11

I finished mine last week

It was a short one though!

Right, I've pestered discoverlife again; has anyone heard/received anything from blanki?

I'm happy to try to organise if people want to start a new one. I must warn you that I am due to drop in a few weeks time so may not be too focused for a while...

Anyway, we could start up a list to see who wants to do it again:

I too have picked my next book - just fell across it in a charity shop, read it and loved it!

EachPeachPearMum · 06/10/2008 15:35

I haven't sent on this month's book yet, but it is really good!
Definitely up for this again- have read some really good things this year!

I have posted wheresthehamster - but it is the book you put into the circle. I have to say I really loved it btw

wheresthehamster · 09/10/2008 16:26

Ooh I'm glad you liked my book, I'm trying hard to think of one for the next round!

Prettymum - I haven't posted yours yet as it's your own one and I'm waiting until I have finished andyrobo's and then will post them together. Probably in a week's time.

MegBusset · 09/10/2008 20:56

Andyrobo I posted this month's book on to you a couple of days ago.

Not sure if I'm receiving one this month or if that's it?

Anyway I'm up for next year...

Have posted today, sorry for the delay.

wheresthehamster · 10/10/2008 16:05

Thanks EPPM, it arrived this morning.
It was in a sealed polythene bag with a survey card inside from Royal Mail. Apparently they select random packets and ask the recipient to fill in details about the contents and the sender. It must have been your lovely packaging that said 'pick me'!!

EachPeachPearMum · 10/10/2008 16:09

How odd!
Well- maybe they're checking the efficiency/speed of 2nd class mail? I posted 3.30pm on weds, so not bad timing...
Of course, you don't exactly live in timbuctoo

bookswapper · 12/10/2008 23:20

yogabird....sent book first class saturday...so sorry for delay....enjoy!

Jas · 15/10/2008 11:14

I got a book today, thanks Prettymum. I guess this is the last one.

Do we need to open ourselves up to get extra members for a repeat, or should we wait a bit longer and see if any more current swappers want to rejoin?

I know prettymum doesn't seem to be around on mn much lately, but has always been reliable re book posting. I'll see if I've got her email.....

wheresthehamster · 15/10/2008 16:31

Posted today prettymum
